Instructions
- Start by melting the unsalted butter in a large saucepan over medium-low heat. Let it cool slightly.

- Gradually incorporate the cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder until the mixture is smooth.
- Pour the brownie mixture into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for approximately 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before cutting them into squares.
- Mix green gel food coloring into the store-bought frosting until you achieve your desired shade.
- Using a piping bag, pipe the green frosting onto each brownie in a swirling motion.
- Use black decorating gel to create facial details on each brownie.
- Optionally, add gummy worms on top for a fun touch!
- Refrigerate until ready to serve.
